“David was very friendly and professional. He was able to come visit the apartment ahead of the visit to meet my cat and learn her routine, and she seemed to really like playing with him all weekend. Will definitely be reaching out to him again next time I need a pet sitter.”
“Awesome pet sitter! One of the most worrying things about going on vacation is who will care for my pets? Rose did an excellent job caring for my three cats. I will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
“Gabrielle is an amazing cat sitter! She's so kind and obviously loves animals. She did a wonderful job taking care of our 3 kitties. We will absolutely ask her again and highly recommend her services.”
“Clareese was so sweet with my girls. She sent a million pictures and even a video, so I knew they were in good hands. Would absolutely book with her again in the future!!”
“Lindsay is so accommodating with extra things I asked of her! She checked in with a lot of pictures and the cats loved her!! I would highly recommend her and use her for my next trip!”
“Heather did an amazing job :) my cats were happy and got lots of play time in while i was away . Definitely will be reaching out to her for future trips. She sent pics and came multiple times a day to see them and brought them toys as well🫶”
“Lucas took care of my cat twice while I was away this year. Not only did he clean up the kitty litter, and fed my cat, he also administered medicine to my cats ear for her hypothyroidism. Very reasonable rates, I would definitely use him again, thanks Lucas.”
“Tony is reliable, follows all directions and provides excellent care. My cats love him. He also sends thorough notes so we know exactly what is going on. I would highly recommend him for drop in cat care.”
“Erin took care of our 6mo kitten Fig on short notice. He is sweet but a lot of energy and kitten curiosity, so I know she had her hands full. She was great with sending updates and photos of our sweet guy.”
About: I had numerous dogs growing up and currently have one of my own, Finley, a Goldendoodle; I adore looking after pets and others. Dogs of all energy levels are welcome as I have a large yard, great for playtime, and plenty of space to accommodate others. Plenty of experience with medicines and special needs animals, too. Routine is key with time management to make sure there’s adequate time for play and adventure. Every morning starts with a walk, and I typically take my own pet to the park twice a day. My home has an enclosed backyard with ample space to run around. When house/petsitting, I’ll always ensure pets are on a leash before exiting to run errands or go for a walk.
“Fantastic pet care. One of my cats needs a twice daily oral medication twice a day and he was able to do that no problem! Will definitely book with him again in the future!”
“Erin provides a welcoming and comfortable home for our cat. She has also always been very flexible and communicative for our needs while traveling. We love having Bender stay with Erin!”
“Ann was a very good caregiver for our indoor/outdoor 13 year old cat. Very reliable, and very thorough during the meet and greet. She asked great questions about our cat’s routines and how to take care of him. Would definitely use Ann again!”
About: I work a corporate 9-5, M-F, but I can be available early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I primarily work from home, so I may be able to make mid-day drop-ins work if absolutely necessary. I respect kitties boundaries and preferences and strive to make them feel as comfortable as possible. I know how sensitive they can be to strangers or change, so I would love to follow whatever your standard routine is.
About: I'm a dog mom myself & I treat every dog with the exact same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s care requires total peace of mind, which is why I prioritize strict attention to routine, safety, and proactive communication. I currently work from 7am - 3pm on weekdays. I am fully available on weekends and overnights. After 3pm on weekdays I am fully available for drop ins and walks. I have a fenced in yard, and a Golden Retriever who is very friendly and well trained. I make sure there is always a water in my dogs bowl and I am on schedule with her feeding times.
“David is the best cat sitter we have ever had. He came and met our two girls ahead of our trip and took notes on their daily routine and preferences. He sent us daily photos and updates. And he spent extra time each day bonding with, playing with, and giving snacks to our girls. They are usually very shy but they loved spending time with him when he came to feed them. He also kept the litter box and water bowls clean and tidy, which is awesome because our cats are young and messy. Lastly he gave us two little stickers of our cats when we returned 🥹 so cute. Would highly recommend him as a sitter for your fur babies! We will definitely be booking again!”

Savannah did an excellent job caring for my senior cat, Phoebe, who has some special medical needs including a daily oral pill. I’m always nervous leaving Phoebe alone overnight, but Savannah’s prompt and thorough communication helped put my mind at ease. She gave her lots of care and attention during her visits with Phoebe and took great care of my home as well. I will definitely rebook with Savannah if we need a sitter in the future!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
